Hi all, I'm 45 and currently doing HIIT (with modifications to protect my knees!) five times a week. I want to incorporate walking and swimming from next week (when the swimming pools open) into my daily schedule and am still in the process of adjusting my calorie/macros for steady weight loss. IF seems to be working for…

Hello! Like many others on here, I'm also coming back to MFP to track progress. I'm currently on Noom but finishing with it in about a month. I have the Joe Wicks app and so doing HIIT (with modifications to protect my knees!) five times a week. I want to incorporate walking and swimming from next week (when the swimming…

me too! Losing a pound a week but still got a hundred to go. Anyone can add me too :)

Just joined too :smile:

Hello just did my first fast day! I am also looking for friends. My diary is open :smile:

Scotch eggs sounds divine-maybe this weekend

Thank you @knitormiss I think what I was looking for is actual main meals to look forward to during the day or even in the morning with enough fat to encourage digestion. I think what I have to do is scour those websites and use pinterest to organise them. :smile: Thanks for all the suggestions.

Thanks for the link @Dragonwolf http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10044905/share-your-original-recipes This is useful. I wouldn't mind a few more favourites that don't just concentrate on low carb but have a high fat content.

Thankyou @KnitOrMiss I already do your loaded tea and can highly recommend it to everyone. I add vanilla to mine :smile: and use a stick blender so it is all frothy.

This is a really interesting thread. I am nowhere near my target but wondering what to do once that happens. I'm going to say something completely contradictory to @Karlottap as I have drastically increased my calories and have lost 2 pounds in 4 days ( i drastically changed my fat level so it is higher). For maintenance…

Thanks @kirkor for the warning. That machine looks like it would do backs in! Anyway did my 80 today :)

Did my 75 today. We're almost there @GrannyMayOz! That's a great way to get on with it and push towards your goals without injuring yourself. I have a dodgy knee so it is a balancing act of pushing yourself and not causing any serious harm.

I'm in the UK and luckily have good quality ones at my local farmers market. I don't use them to eat on its own but as a coating for southern fried chicken.

My goal is to make a dedicated routine and stick to it. I take too much time over-thinking what to cook and exercise rather than getting on with it. Making this goal into a SMART goal - Make a daily and weekly to-do list which includes meal planning and scheduling.

Hello did my 70 squats today. I am almost doing it to the whole of the ping pong song now! :smile:

I agree with @Dragonwolf. Depends on what works for you. I also keep the number of treats down but I'm one of these people that subtracts the sugar alcohols. I would feel like I would be punishing myself too much for having the occasional treat.

The above article also makes some of those points @FIT_Goat. Artificially implying significance from small data sets etc is called p-hacking meaning the p-values (and therefore significance of a study) is meaningless From the article referring to "statistical significance" "Whenever you hear that phrase, it means that some…

Me too definitely :smiley: I knew chocolate does not help with weight loss directly but helps with any craving. That book looks good too.

That's great @DarlingNikki2011! if you have the link that might help others who might want to do it that way. I enjoy this 27 day long one as I can do it to music to make it into a short cardio exercise as well as a core strengthening one. Also did my 70 squats today and having a rest day tomorrow.

Sometimes I don't fully trust personal trainers @GrannyMayOz after I used one and she pushed me too hard without warming up and I could not exercise for a week as I was too stiff. It's really hard to say as other times they have been great for me too. Anyway done my 65 today!

So hard to say- ;proper burgers; anything with cheese on it; roast chicken with garlic cloves, butter and thyme; southern fried chicken made with all the spices in my drawer, pork rinds, parmesan and soy flour; flourless chocolate cake; bacon and eggs fried in butter; almond butter cookies; peanut butter flourless…

60 done!

Did my 55 today!

Oh no @Jbarnes1210! Don't overdo it. I hope your knee gets better soon

Hi! Back to it. Did my 50 whilst waiting for my bacon and eggs to cook :smile:

Welcome @Rossergirl! Hope you find squatting helpful :)

BTW did my 50 today. Rest day tomorrow.

@Sk8Kate sounds like a great idea to mix them up a bit. @wabmester Thanks for the prison workout! :smile: It actually is very informative.
